Role of three-dimensional printing and laser scanning in aesthetic restoration of Parry Romberg's disease using de-epithelialized anterolateral thigh flap: a case report.

Parry Romberg syndrome also known as progressive hemifacial atrophy is an uncommon degenerative condition, characterized by unilateral, slow, and progressive atrophy of face. Patient presents with loss of facial symmetry and neurological manifestations. After the degenerative process settles, reconstructive surgeries are performed to address facial asymmetry.

Early Reconstruction with Locoregional-Free Flaps in Post-COVID-19 Rhino-orbital-cerebral Mucormycosis Craniofacial Deformities: A Single-Center Clinical Experience from India.

 Mucormycosis is a rare invasive and fatal fungal infection and its resurgence in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients has been a matter of grave concern. It is essentially a medical disease, but surgical debridement of necrotic tissues is of paramount importance leading to severe craniofacial deformities. In this case series, we present our experience with the feasibility of early reconstruction after surgical debridement.

A Case Report on Ambiguous Genitalia: A Diagnostic, Therapeutic, and Cosmetic Challenge.

Ambiguous genitalia is a matter of concern and needs thorough evaluation and treatment. Gonadectomy becomes a potentially lifesaving procedure in patients with partial androgen insensitivity due to the increased risk of malignancy if left undiagnosed. We present a case report of two patients in their late 20s and 30s, raised as girls, who came with complaints of primary amenorrhea with ambiguous genitalia.

Changes in patterns of plastic surgery emergencies at a level I trauma center in India during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Purpose: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had major effects worldwide, including sudden and forceful setbacks to the healthcare system. The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to changes in the plastic and reconstructive management of emergency cases, including those due to road traffic accidents. This study analyzed changes in patterns of plastic surgery emergencies and modifications in consultation policies to minimize the exposure of healthcare workers.

Medial plantar artery-based perforator and island flaps: a case series of applications in sole defects.

Background: Soft tissue defects of the plantar foot pose a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. The plantar region of the foot has a unique skin structure, which helps in its paramount functions of weight-bearing and providing protective sensation. It is best replaced with tissue of its own kind.

The reverse flow extensor digitorum brevis flap for dorsal foot defects-A single center study.

Background: Defects on the dorsum of the foot remain a reconstructive challenge for plastic surgeons. There are very few pedicled flaps that have a reach up to the distal foot and those too with a threat of poor perfusion. Very often distal foot has to be resurfaced with free flap even with small defects.

Tongue-lip adhesion in Pierre-Robin sequence: Role redefined.

The triad of retrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction characterizes the Robin sequence along with the detrimental effects of mandibular hypoplasia on feeding, swallowing, and growth, which are very well described. Most of the babies are managed successfully on nonsurgical measures, but selected patients require surgical intervention in the neonatal period for survival. Conventionally, tracheostomy was done, which still remains a first-line surgical procedure for some surgeons.
